EDITORS COMMENTS
The Illuminated Exultet, housed in the National Museum of San Matteo in Pisa, is a captivating piece that transports viewers back to the Early Middle Ages. This photograph, taken between 1915 and 1920, captures the essence of this remarkable artwork dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. The Exultet is an illuminated manuscript that serves as a visual representation of various aspects of Christian religion and life during this period. It beautifully depicts scenes from both the Old and New Testaments, including significant events such as the Annunciation and the raising of Lazarus. The miracles performed by Jesus Christ are also vividly illustrated within its pages. As one gazes upon this print captured by Brogi from Alinari, they can't help but be drawn into its intricate details. The illuminations are meticulously crafted with vibrant colors that bring each scene to life. The figures depicted wear costumes reflecting fashion trends prevalent during those times. Beyond its artistic value, this masterpiece holds immense historical significance. It provides insights into religious practices and beliefs held by people living in Europe during the first and second millenniums AD. Its presence in Pisa's National Museum showcases not only Italy's rich cultural heritage but also highlights how art played a crucial role in conveying abstract concepts like faith through visual representations. This photograph allows us to appreciate not just the craftsmanship behind this illuminated manuscript but also offers a glimpse into medieval society's worldview. It stands as a testament to human creativity across generations while reminding us of our shared history rooted deeply within religious traditions.
